The Passover Betrayal, the New Covenant Meal, and the Suffering Servant King

The leaders plot, Judas betrays, Jesus prepares and interprets the Passover as the new covenant in his blood, teaches servant greatness, warns and prays for Peter, submits to the Father in agony, is betrayed and arrested, is denied by Peter, is mocked by men, and confesses before the council that he is the Son of Man and Son of God.

47While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

53Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
